Abstract

There is no doubt that we are in an era of significant policy and practice change for behavioral health and the broader health care field. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, the Affordable Care Act and the National Dialogue on Mental Health have all brought increased focus and attention on health care. Unfortunately, a number of large-scale incidents of violence have also ignited inaccurate conversations about the association between violence and mental illness.
